Chapter 182 – Boom! 2

Kim Cheolung asked, seeing Kim Jaehoon’s expression that clearly indicated he heard it that way.

“D-Day… What day is today?”

“I don’t know that much.”

Kim Cheolung nodded, lost in thought.

He didn’t even know Woojin’s true feelings, even though he had known him for a long time, so how could this person possibly know?

But one thing was certain.

Kim Cheolung soon smiled and said,

that Woojin definitely had a good eye for people.

“Let’s do our best.”

“I’ll work hard!”

***

Chief Jo was sitting on the sofa in his home.

The news was playing on TV, but his eyes were unfocused, as if lost in thought.

Not even 10 minutes passed like that.

Chief Jo fixed his gaze on the TV and spoke.

“Minji.”

His daughter, who was sitting at the dining table with her mother, turned towards Chief Jo.

“Yes? What is it, Dad?”

“Break up with that guy.”

My daughter’s boyfriend graduated from medical school and was an intern at the hospital.

His family wasn’t well-off.

My daughter stood up from her seat with surprised eyes and approached Chief Jo.

“Dad, what are you suddenly talking about?”

Chief Jo replied, his gaze fixed on the TV as before.

“I’m telling you not to meet some good-for-nothing guy.”

“Dad…”

Chief Jo cut his daughter off.

“I’m telling you not to meet some guy who’ll later ask you to open a private practice for him. I’ve arranged a meeting with a decent guy from a prosecutor’s family next week, so be aware of that.”

“Dad!”

At that moment, Chief Jo’s wife approached with surprised eyes.

“Dear, is that true? A prosecutor’s family?”

Her surprised expression looked joyful.

“Yes, and tell Jisung to wrap up his business by the end of this month.”

He had been pushing his son through connections, but that was as far as it went.

He couldn’t advance and just kept treading water.

His son would have a Shinhwa Group car.

Not only that, but he could achieve even more.

Because he had many cards up his sleeve.

“What’s that supposed to mean now?”

Chief Jo didn’t answer his wife’s question and went into his study.

He sat down and played a video on his cell phone.

It contained Chairman Lee’s image.

“Haah…”

At Chairman Lee’s actions and voice, Chief Jo leaned deep into his chair and let out a soft sigh.

It was as if the days of being scolded and praised by Chairman Lee were flashing before his eyes like a film reel.

Suddenly, he seemed to hear the Chairman’s words.

‘You know, people shouldn’t reveal their true colors. If you show your bottom, you’re not really living even if you’re alive. Flies will gather, wondering if there’s anything to eat.’

Chief Jo rubbed his face with both hands.

Soon, he opened his eyes again and fixed his gaze on the video.

Geum Room Ira’s eyes were also red, as if tears would fall, but that look quickly disappeared as if the moisture had dried up.

“Chairman, I will make it so. I will make sure the Chairman lives forever in people’s minds, looking healthy and strong. Do not worry about Shinhwa Group. I will protect it. I… even if it’s not me, my child will continue the legacy.”

Deep in his eyes, greed seemed to rage.

Soon, Chief Jo, who had turned off the video, made a call and brought the cellphone to his ear.

-Yes. I am on standby.

“What’s the situation?”

-No bodyguards are visible. Seeing the housekeeper, it seems certain that the Chairman is there. It was the same yesterday.

Chief Jo slowly nodded his head.

The timing was also appropriate.

“He was a person who always went to sleep at 1 AM.”

-Understood.

Chief Jo spoke to the other person again, as if to remind them.

“The bathroom tiles must have been very slippery.”

-Yes.

“The time is 2 AM.”

-Yes.

Chief Jo, who had been silently holding the cellphone to his ear for a moment, spoke again.

“You’ll have to take good care of him.”

-Understood.

After finishing the call, Chief Jo stood up from his seat and walked towards the window.

A splendid city view unfolded before him, but he felt no emotion.

He was only thinking about the corruption and hidden flaws of the owner’s family that he had buried and buried over the years.

If I use those cards….

Chief Jo, lost in thought, muttered.

“Chairman, Shinhwa Group will expand even further in the future. I will make it so. I promise.”

***

It was 8 o’clock.

A man holding a selfie stick was smiling and speaking.

“Everyone! We’re almost there! Ah! I’m serious! I’m not stalling for time. If I can’t eat it in 3 minutes, I’ll quit this broadcast. I promise on my hand, I, ‘Jekyll Man’!”

He was doing a personal internet broadcast.

[Oh! Behind you!]

[Gorgeous behind you!]

[Behind! Behind!]

[Body ㄷㄷ]

“Huh, behind me?”

He glanced behind him.

As the viewers said, a beautiful woman was walking towards him.

He turned his head back to its original position and pointed the camera at the woman so she could be seen clearly.

“Big brothers, any missions? I’m taking missions while I’m out here!”

He consistently filmed her as she walked behind him.

Perhaps sensing his intention, the woman slightly bowed her head, covering her face with her hair.

And as she walked past him, he changed the camera settings so the screen faced forward.

Her back was fully broadcast on the stream.

He planned to attract more viewers with the thumbnail.

[What a body….]

[Let’s go hunting!]

[Go, go, go hunting!]

He intentionally broadcast her on the stream, but his words were different.

“Wait a minute. Hyungnim, is this the right path?”

Of course not.

I was following her for the thumbnail.

[Hunting, not puffa]

[Guest recruitment!]

As he intended, viewers came flooding in and the chatting speed also increased.

At that time, a police officer caught up with her who was following her.

He casually brushed past her and the Police.

“Brothers, I don’t think this is the road, but it looks to the left. Left.”

It was time for BJ to change his pace.

“teacher.”

A voice came from behind me.

BJ turned around to see who the voice was from.

It was the Police.

It was none other than Woojin.

“yes?”

“Infringement of Candle’s commercial rights without permission may result in a claim for damages. In addition, under the Special Act on the Punishment of Sexual Violence Crimes, imprisonment of up to 5 years or a fine of up to 30 million won may be imposed.”

BJ’s face turned red.

“I’ve never done that before?”

“Shall we check out the Room song?”

“No… that’s right. I just took a picture of you going to a restaurant?”

Woojin glanced at a woman looking uncomfortable on one side.

“Just watch the video again, right? If you delete it, I won’t file a complaint.”

“Really…”

There was an uproar in the chat window.

[Legend haha]

[Goodbye. Don’t go far.]

[Is it okay to put a portrait? 인정?]

The viewers, as if nothing had happened, were now on the opposite side, enjoying the situation.

Woojin said,

“So you’re not going to delete it?”

“I never filmed it…”

“Alright.”

As Woojin turned his back without hesitation, the streamer, who had been rolling his eyes, quickly followed.

“I didn’t intend to, but if it was filmed, I’ll delete it.”

Woojin nodded.

“You can delete it in front of the woman.”

The streamer, with an awkward expression, ended the Room broadcast and deleted the saved video.

“I’m sorry.”

The woman looked at the streamer as if he were an insect and disappeared, and Woojin said to the remaining streamer,

“Don’t use people who have nothing to do with you. People like that will eventually be used themselves. I’ve seen many such cases.”

“I’m sorry. I won’t do it again.”

As the streamer smiled and bowed, Woojin looked at his micro-expression and nodded.

“Then take care.”

The streamer turned his back and walked away, turning on the Room broadcast.

“Ah, brothers! There was a slight misunderstanding!”

Woojin fixed his gaze on his back and muttered while making a call somewhere.

“Before another victim appears.”

His face was telling a lie.

Soon, when the other party answered the phone, Woojin said,

“Reporter Choi Gibae, it’s about a streamer who filmed a civilian, and there was a brief scuffle. The streamer’s name is ‘Jikilman’ Ira. It was resolved amicably, but I want to scare him so he doesn’t do it again. The article title is ‘Streamer films civilian and denies it…'”

After the call, Woojin began his patrol of the area again.

***

10 PM.

The area around the villa was quiet.

Only the sound of birds, whether cuckoos or turtledoves, echoed, and the sound of a flowing stream could be heard.

There were two thugs watching the villa from afar.

They were dressed as hikers with their faces covered by cloth, and one of the men, checking the time, spoke up.

“Don’t relax. You need to stay alert.”

“Understood.”

They had identified all the CCTV cameras at the entrance to the villa, so they took a different route, and they had switched cars several times to get there, making it difficult to trace their movements.

Minutes passed, then hours, and the cold-looking moon rose high in the sky.

It was 1 AM.

The light leaking from the villa went out, and another hour passed.

“Let’s go.”

The housekeeper had already left, and no one had entered the villa since.

The two immediately began to move.

There was a CCTV camera watching the villa’s door, so they didn’t go there, heading instead for the sliding window that connected to the living room.

One man put down his hiking backpack and began to take out tools.

And he began to quietly remove the security screen.

The machine sound was smooth and quiet, as if well-oiled.

Soon, after removing the security screen, he inserted a thin tool into the window frame and moved the window up and down a few times, and surprisingly, the lock disengaged.

The sound was so faint it was hard to hear, the perfect way.

Even more so if one was asleep.

“We’ll take him straight to the bathroom. We’ll finish it there.”

Now, Chairman Lee’s cause of death would be negligence.

“I’ll say it again, stay alert. Our lives will change starting tomorrow.”

The two, who had been watching the room, went inside.

As expected, it was dark inside, with only the quiet hum of the refrigerator.

The two cautiously began to open the room doors one by one.

Just then, one of his colleagues, who had opened the second door, signaled him with a flashlight as he was checking another room.

It meant they had found Chairman Lee’s bedroom.

Soon, the two entered the dark room.

One of the men spoke to the silhouette lying diagonally on the bed.

“Chairman Lee.”

At his voice, the blanket rustled.

It seemed he had just woken up after falling asleep.

He spoke again.

“Chairman, Chief Jo told us to take good care of you.”

The rustling silhouette seemed to stretch out as if waking up.

Snap.

Hearing the sound of joints cracking refreshingly, they felt something was off and shone the flashlight on Chairman Lee.

But.

It wasn’t Chairman Lee.

Woojin, who had been stretching, rubbed his eyes as if still half-asleep and spoke to them.

Scratching his neck as he did so.

“Ugh… what time is it now?”
